Kilkenny City Manager 2006

[A face]

Lads, any ideas on this ?? Anyone rumours on who is in the running for it ? Which managers are actually not committed to other clubs and could possibly end up with City ??

Johnny Matthews is been linked strongly with the job. Brendan Rea has ruled himself out. Also heard talk of Alan Reynolds!!! (Not sure wheter that is as a player or manager or assistant or...)
Apparently somebody based in China has applied for the job aswell

[Aaron GUFC]

Ya Ive heard about Johnny Matthews and Alan Reynolds, Alan being a player manager would be good and he would strengthen the midfield in my opinion.

Oh fcuk. I think Rogue Trader might be right with that name. I'll pray that it's not him for ye Kilkenny fans.

Johnny Matthews is the man for ye lads, great footie brain and 1 of the all time league greats, he will get ye going again.

I wouldnt be surprised if Kilkenny did sign Don. When you ask people in kilkenny about there football club they complain about the lack of local players and what not. While Don wasnt a great manager, I thought he did very well with the younger local talent that he would bring in. This I think would attract more people in the gate which is something that kilkenny have been desperate to get for a long time now. It wouldnt bring immediate success but if they tried putting a 3-5 year plan in place he would definently rise them up from where they stand right now.

Not a bad appointment by all accounts. He needs to get some new players in and a few lads from Kilkenny too. A few local players would definately increase the number attending games. Last season was like supporting Dublin Rejects F.C.

[nedder]

any ideas on what local lads might be used?
seems that most of the "locals " are playing with waterford
